The highest capacity air bags we have for a 2024 GMC Sierra 3500 is the Firestone Ride-Rite Red Label Extreme Duty Air Helper Springs item # F2709. These have a 7,500 lbs load leveling capacity. They fit the 2WD and 4WD Sierra's with single or double rear wheels. This kit is also compatible with in bed hitches.

I have attached a couple of pictures below and linked an installation video so you can see how to get these air bags set up.

I recommend adding the Firestone Air Command item # F2610. This onboard compressor will allow you to adjust the PSI in your air bags individually from your phone.
